cornerofmadnessMy grandmother died before two weeks were out in January. Then Nimoy. Then cousins. And friends. And my friends and cousins losing members of their families.
Today Dad called to with his cousins' happy new year's and that cousin I mentioned less than a week ago who had lung cancer died today (and no one called us so yay to making the call by saying happy new year and feeling like an idiot because you didn't know).
I didn't know the man. He was my father's cousin and a little older than him.
Still.
Bite me 2015.

Here's hoping the Year of the Monkey is a far better one for all of us. It better be: I'm looking down the road at facing my big 6-0 birthday in November. I'd really love to enter that decade with a little more grace & less pain than I did my fifties.
All the best to you & all your family, and my condolences to your dad for his cousin.
